Finally decided to get into scrap pages. This is my page for a 6x6 swap. I tried to do the 'fake-dry-embossed-look' that was demoed at convention. I think I need a little more practice to really get that technique down. I seem to have "issues" with craft ink.

What a sweet layout! I love the design, the stamps, the colors and the fake dry embossing, altho I don't know what fake dry embossing is and this totally looks like real dry embossing to me! Did that make sense? Anyhow, I LOVE the whole thing... you did a beautiful job!

Thanks all! They demoed this idea at convention. First you wheel with tone-on-tone color. In this case, Bashful Blue ink on BB cardstock. Then wheel again with white - only offset a little. It basically creates a shadow - making it look like dry embossing. You line up the seam of the wheel to one edge of your paper each time you wheel so that the images will line up. Hope that makes sense.
